So why does Obama hate the American flag?
I have to figure they probably interviewed hundreds of PA residents trying to come up with some good questions and this is the fucking question they come up with? Why not just read from one of the anonymous emails from the past year saying crap like Obama refuses to salute the flag?

Not only did they throw every manufactured "issue" at Obama but even invented a few new ones, like the flag and Ayers, a guy who allegedly bombed people while Obama was fucking 8 years old for Christ sakes. Bill pardoned a few Weather Underground bombers? No questions about that, were there?

Well, Obama is still standing and anyone who thinks that this incredible farce is going to change anyone's mind at this point probably ought to have their own minds examined.

What a disgrace!

1. Lame and tired and been done to death.
That being said, I was hoping that Obama would wear the pin that the veteran gave him, and explain the meaning that it had behind it. That way he'd be wearing a damn flag pin (to shut people up) and I think it would have meant a lot to that veteran and to others.

4. Things have changed. Today, the Pope said, quote, "God Bless America"
I cringed when i heard that. I thought religiously it would be more fitting for America to bless God!

9. Truly amazing... the only question people are worried about in PA
Just why doesn't Obama wear a flag pin made in China? Why? Why?

:crazy:
